The regular season was a success, but the real challenge begins now, in the postseason. This Thursday Pender takes on Guardian Angels Central Catholic in the first playoff game of the year. Both teams enjoyed a wide margin in their previous games.
Pender breezed past Omaha Nation two weeks ago with a final score of 66 - 38. Senior Brady Oliver deserves a lot of the credit as he earned one touchdown and 122 yards rushing the ball. Oliver has been a consistent playmaker for Pender as this was the 5th good game in a row from him. Senior Jared Tyrrell banked an additional two TDs for the team.
Meanwhile, Guardian Angels Central Catholic can now show off five landslide victories after its game two weeks ago. The final score between it and Winnebago two weeks ago was a 66 - 28 blowout in Guardian Angels Central Catholic's favor.
Their wins bumped Pender to 3-5 and Guardian Angels Central Catholic to 8-0. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, Pender and Guardian Angels Central Catholic will really light up the scoreboard.
